I've recently retired and have been considering a four or five day tour from my home in New Braunfels, TX (near San Antonio) to Colorado. I'd like to go in the next ten days so am curious if I'm pushing the snow potential over the passes in mid-September? Also, might one of my fellow RT riders recommend a route over that time frame hitting Durango (have a friend living there) and then riding some passes, Million Dollar Highway, etc.? I realize I can't do Colorado justice in four or five days but I'm ready for some mountain riding, solo as the wife will not join me for such a run. I can ride most of a day no problem and have done a few 900 mile days with my Russell Day Long Saddle. I have a 2013 RT and plan to take my nice camera and try-pod. I'm also strongly considering KOA camping cabins for my accommodations but could do a neat hotel in a historic town.
Thanks for any recommendations you might offer.
